C The last time that I saw her FD7 She was standing in the rain G With her overcoat under her arm C Leaning on a horsehead cane C She said Carl, take all the money FD7 She called everybody Carl G My spirit's broke
My mind's a joke C And getting up's real hard
Chorus: F Don't you know her when you see her? C She grew up in your back yard FC Come back to us Barbara Lewis GC Hare Krishna Beauregard
(Repeat Intro)
C Selling bibles at the airports FD7 Buying quayludes on the phone G Hey, you talk about A paper route C She's a shut in without a home C God save her, please She's nailed her knees FD To some drugstore parking lot G Hey, Mr. Brown Turn the volume down C I believe this evening's shot
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Intro)
C Can't you picture her next Thursday? FD7 Can you picture her at all? G In the Hotel Boulderado C At the dark end of the hall C I gotta shake myself and wonder FD Why she even bothers me G For if heartaches were commercials C We'd all be on T.V.
